Happiness Project

Sinopsis del Libro

What if you could change your life without really changing your life? On the outside, Gretchen had it all -- a good marriage, healthy children and a successful career -- but she knew something was missing. Determined to end that nagging feeling, Gretchen set out on a year-long quest, her own “happiness project,” to learn how to better enjoy the life she already had. Each month, Gretchen pursued a different set of resolutions: go to sleep earlier, tackle a nagging task, bring people together, take time to be silly, along with dozens of other goals. She read everything from classical philosophy to cutting-edge scientific studies, from Winston Churchill to Oprah, developing her own definition of happiness and a plan for how to achieve it. She kept track of which resolutions worked and which didn’t, sharing her stories and collecting those of others through her blog (created to fulfill one of March’s resolutions). Bit by bit, she began to appreciate and amplify the happiness that already existed in her life. Written with humour and insight, Gretchen’s story will inspire readers to embrace the pleasure in their lives and remind them how to have fun.

Gracias a la prodigiosa memoria del autor, presenciamos escenas de todo el panorama social de Ciudad Juárez y El Paso a finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI, protagonizadas por personajes pintorescos e inolvidables, tanto taxistas como pasajeros. Aquí hay de todo: por una parte las movidas chuecas, las mordidas, la fayuca, la prostitución y manifestaciones de violencia; pero ...

Elogio de la imperfección

Cuando Rita Levi-Montalcini trato de conciliar dos aspiraciones inconciliables –segun el gran poeta Yeats–: perfeccion en la vida o perfeccion en el trabajo, se decanto por la imperfeccion en la vida y en el trabajo. Y al descubrir el placer que le procuraban vivir y trabajar, descubrio que eso, la imperfeccion, era lo que mas se avenia a la naturaleza humana. Su vida –mujer, y cientifica, y de origen judio– es una odisea que recorre el siglo xx y parte del xxi. Elogio de la imperfeccion es su autobiografia, un balance de la trayectoria profesional y vital –de mas de cien anos– de ...
